Comment on The Experience Economy

Comments

An experience economy might be a possible post-scarcity form of economy, but in the world as it exists today outside of the realm of software we're nowhere close to post-scarcity.

Currently the idea of "experience" being the primary goal is being used as a political device in order to force unemployed people to work in for-profit companies without pay for significant periods of time, so I don't think it's a good idea to take a fetishistic attitude towards experience itself whilst simultaneously overlooking other equally or more important issues.
